Viability of bull semen extended with commercial semen extender and two culture media stored at 24 °C

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability of bull spermatozoa diluted with commercial semen extender and two culture media stored at controlled room temperature (24 °C) for 72 hours. Two Nguni bulls were used for semen collection with the aid of an electro-ejaculator. After macroscopic evaluation, semen was pooled and aliquoted randomly into Triladyl, modified Ham's F10, and TCM-199 culture media, and then stored at 24 °C. Sperm motility parameters, morphology, and viability were analysed with comput… Show more

“…To the best of our knowledge, very little information is available about the correlation between the extender type, BBE levels, and enzymatic activities in ram seminal plasma. Hence, the transaminase activities (AST and ALT) in extenders are a good indicator of semen quality because they measure sperm membrane stability [ 62 ]. For instance, ALT, AST, and ALP are fundamental for metabolic procedures that provide the energy necessary for sperm motility, viability, and fertility [ 63 ].…”

“…Semen storage at 25⁰C or 5⁰C for 30 minutes did not significantly affect spermatozoa viability but negatively affected spermatozoa motility (Alkali et al, 2022). Cell damage can cause spermatozoa death and be a source of toxicity for live spermatozoa (Raseona et al, 2017).…”

“…Storage of spermatozoa at ambient temperature causes an increase in the rate of cell metabolism resulting in a deficit of energy sources, ATP, and accumulation of lactic acid and AAAO enzymes, so that the survival life of spermatozoa at ambient temperature (25-27°C) is short (Maulana, 2016;Raseona et al, 2017). The energy deficit causes an ATP deficit which affects the movement of the spermatozoa's tail so that the spermatozoa's motility decreases.…”

“…An optimal diluent composition is expected to protect spermatozoa from damage caused by cooling, such as cryodamage or cryoinjury [6][7][8]. Liquid semen is considered successful if the decrease in motility (M) and metabolic activity due to cooling can be reversible [9].…”
